Bag Handles:

Make 5 chains, one with each of the 5 colors, 5 feet long. Fasten off.

Make a 5-strand braid with the 5 chains.

Knot each end of braid to secure. Thread it through the ch2 holes of round 3 of upper band of bag, making sure that the braid is on the outside for the wider front and back sections (the 40dc sections) of upper band of bag. Knot both ends of braid together and weave in loose ends to hide them in the knot.

Finishing:

Weave in loose ends. Hand wash, block to finished measurements and allow to dry.

Lining (optional):

Cut two pieces of fabric in the shape and dimension of the schematic. Sew the tabs to their adjacent side. Then sew both pieces together. Iron the top edge to 1/2 in and turn the lining into the bag. Hand stitch the top of the lining to the top of the upper band of bag, just below the strap holes.
